Damn Doppelbock is only down to 1028, yeast is a bit tired I reckon, that's only 2 points since last time I checked. Inclined to bottle it and stick a "store at 12 degrees and don't drink for two weeks" label on it :)
 
Just bottled mine and Treacle Forecast has been downgraded to "Cloudy with a chance of Treacle".
Two weeks of wood has mellowed it a bit. Hey, that would do the same for me <_< ;) :lol:

I'd forgotten what a pita bottling is, though.

Xmas in July.

Time to give the liver a practise run methinks :drinks: .
 
Hope your paving is more accurate than your snowman building... :ph34r:

Mind you, a slanted walkway might pose a difficult yet farking funny spectacle on the day ;)

Cheers!

So just boxing up my beers and was wondering as we didn't fill out the full 24, do I still (silly question really) send out 24 or just the 17 odd that are actually being swapped?

The convention is to bring one for every swapper including yourself. If there are 17 in the list including yourself, bring 17. Some people have favourite numbers, so ignore them and just bring enough for the list... of course labelled with your number on top
 
Well Sherlock, I guess it's your call.

If there are 16 in the swap (for instance), you will need a minimum of 16, however there might be 27 attending, how generous you feelin?
 
Didn't mean anything rude by 'Sherlock', it looked funny when I typed it...


Now I'm repenting...
 
I'm bottling the whole fermenter tonight, keeping a few and the rest get sent along, as soon as I can organise a time with perry to drop them off. The extras I leave behind can cover for my absence.
